Code of Conduct

Club Ethos
Strive to achieve the highest possible standards of play, both as an individual and for the team, whilst promoting good sportsmanship.
The club is prominent at all levels - from local leagues, regional representation, national league and international honours. All members must realise that they play as part of a team / club, not as an individual. Actions of players reflect the club as a whole. As a club member we must ensure that we promote positive impressions through our 
- behaviour, both on and off court
- body language
- interaction with other teams, players and umpires.
The club works hard to develop it's junior sections, yet this requires the help and support of all players during training sessions and on occasions for their fixtures.

Training / Playing
It is expected that all players attend training sessions weekly and that they are available for team fixtures. Club kit is available for all to buy and it is to be  worn for all club fixtures.

Sportsmanship
